NeoModus Direct Connect

From Free net encyclopedia

NeoModus Direct Connect is a file-sharing client for Windows and Mac users that provides file-sharing capabilities for any type of file within a hub-centric, peer-to-peer network.

NeoModus Direct Connect is a community-driven type of network and client. Chat capabilites are a central part of the client, and the users of the client exert a direct management of the network and the files they share. Users often create smaller, specialized hubs catering to particular user groups or types of files, and these hubs are generally much smaller that other types of file-sharing networks.

NeoModus Direct Connect has inspired the creation of open-source versions of the client, such as DC++. DC++ itself has several specialized spin-off open-source versions as well, such as BCDC++ and CZDC++, which are refined with features particular to user groups, such as filters, language packs, and search capabilities.

Since the Direct Connect network is hub-based, a certain "rite-of-passage" must be completed by sharing a certain amount of files before you can gain access to the larger hubs. Hubs often have a share minimum of 5 to 20 gigabytes, though some hubs demand in excess of 50 gigabytes shared. Once in a hub, though, as much as 100 Terabytes of information is ready for download at your discretion if there is a free slot.
